I had the privilege of being coached by Doug. He epitomizes a great leader; a servant leader. Doug is humble and willing to sharing his experiences to help others reach their potential. As a coach Doug helped me manage self and manage up. Doug empowers everyone he works with. So fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Doug.
